[GAMEPLAY] Unable to move / Game becoming unresponsive or delayed

On my last match as Nidalee. During one point in the game, my client became unresponsive. I issued move commands and also tried to use abilities but my champion would not move or respond. My ping was my usual ~100 which I've never had a problem with and the player I was against did everything as normal, I was the only one affected.

After re-spawning from the death that followed, I was able to move for a second, but after that second passed the issue persisted. I waited a bit longer and was finally able to move, but throughout the whole game after this point my commands were delayed. Any move/ability commands would take a second or more for them to initiate.

So far I have been unable to reproduce the problem in other games. I will update the post if I am able to reproduce again.

I've got the same problem since 2-3 days. It did cost me a few wins already and im really fed up with this.

I play a game, i even check my pings before going into ranked and everything is fine on my side. In the Game it occurs that i either dont move and cannot move at all or am auto attacking whatever enemy is near without the ability to stop it. I can see the Game proceeding and my allies and enemies moving around but i cant do anthing at all myself. I cant move, cant buy/sell, cant use abilities etc. ( btw my ping always stays 25m/s my FPS always stay at my capped 60)

I have reinstalled my network drivers, my video card drivers, resettet my router , quadra checked my ping when i noticed right before i am able to move again my ping goes to 500 for a split second.

My Comrades and Enemies alike if they knew this bug or not allt old me they see me either dc or leave the game and i had to "i agree" on leaving game popup (i didnt even know such thing exists).

Here is what i know so far:

1. if i close the LoL client via Task Manager and restart it it is most likely, that im able to play normal after reconnection (if the game is not lost already), which brings me closer to the conclusion this is a server side problem.
1. I am more likely to get this bug after 12am UTC+1 and Before 12pm UTC+1

I would really appreciate if you (Riot) would either hotfix this problem or at least enable loss prevented for it.

best regards

I've had this EXACT. SAME. ISSUE. Multiple times over the x years I've played LoL. I just had it in a ranked match that was close, but we were winning in. It is things like this which make people rage and plot the destruction of the masses. =p

Still pretty angry about it, it cost me a loss after something like 10~12 Voli wins in a row and getting into promos.

I was using WiFi tether, getting about 37 megs download and 20 megs upload speed (yeah, it's amazing, I know), when it started intermittently happening. My ping/latency was fine, all other forms were working fine (Skype, did a quick YouTube check, checked RDP/RemoteDesktop, etc), and my traceroute didn't go above 100 ms at any hops. Please keep in mind I'm in the Los Angeles area. I swapped to my office WiFi as well as ethernet cable and the game would not respond at all still.

I've not had this issue in any other games, be it Don't Starve Together, Heroes of the Storm, Starbound, Rust, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, etc. If I ever had a connection issue, it would always be network-wide, and not ONLY be targeting one game. What can I traceroute specifically as an IP for NA game servers in the future to show any issues that will help a Dev team, NOC team, or any other team sort this out? It's cost me wins in the past and sadly, nothing leaves a worse taste in a player's mouth than when they're doing well overall and they come up dry due to something outside of their control to the point of usually turning to raging/negativity/outright quitting a game.

I do not say such things as a tantrum of sorts, I am simply trying to convey that when these types of things happen, players will generally leave a game for awhile/permanently if it's unplayable. I've not experienced this in about 9 months, and it just began happening again from an office in Sherman Oaks which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Riot HQ. The last time it happened a lot, I was playing from my office in Marina del Rey where I had 0 ping as Riot was just up the street. And it still happened.

So I know for sure it isn't my setup/configuration, nor is it due to any form of firewall on my end, etc. Could someone PLEASE tell me what causes others to move/function fine and my champion sitting there stationary? I click, it registers the sound, and nothing happens. Skill keys don't happen. I can still type and send messages. Thank you.

Same issue here. The problem with this is that I have no idea what to do to fix it. I talk to people and try to explain and they give the generic "check your internet " diagnosis. "Oh you probably have latency issues." No, it's not that. While this happens my ping is fine, it's just the commands that I give to my character that aren't happening. This started with me about 2 weeks ago. I tried to play with it and get over it, but when it happens in the most crucial of times like teamfights or 1v1s, it becomes rage inducing. I need a solution to this ASAP.
